Manchester United have only won TWICE against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this CENTURY in all competitions

MANCHESTER UNITED have it all to do this weekend when they travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea.
The Red Devils have raced off to a better start than their opponents on Sunday, to sit second in the Premier League with 23 points from their first ten games.
Jose Mourinho led his team to a crucial win at home to Tottenham last weekend, as United now sit four points above Chelsea in the standings.
However, don't expect the good form to be continued into Sunday...
After all, Man United have only won TWICE at Stamford Bridge this CENTURY.
Since 2000, the Old Trafford outfit have ventured to West London 22 times... winning just two matches.
In that span, United have drawn seven and lost 13, spanning FOUR different managers in all competitions.
Whether it was Sir Alex Ferguson in charge, Louis van Gaal, David Moyes or Mourinho, the usual result seemed to a long, dejected trudge back north.
LUK OUT Jose says Lukaku is his "Untouchable"... but fans disagree
The bad omens don't stop there either.
In fact, United have lost more Premier League games (17) and conceded more Prem goals (66) against Chelsea than against any other side in the competition.

Meanwhile, United have lost their last THREE games away from home straight after playing in Europe - and five of their last eight.
Most recently, Mourinho's men have slumped to frustrating defeats away to Arsenal, Tottenham and Huddersfield after games in the Europa League or Champions League.
Of course, the Red Devils cruised to a comfortable 2-0 win over Benfica on Tuesday.
But with a strong team fielded for that outing, United fans must be somewhat concerned about Sunday's result, with all stats pointing towards a Blues cruise.
Then again, football isn't played on paper, is it..?
